Nicole Trunfio tops annual list of highest-paid models
In 2022 it looked like the model’s spectacular career was winding down. Suddenly, she was back on top. People With Money reports on Friday (June 27) that Trunfio is the highest-paid model in the world, pulling in an astonishing $46 million between May 2024 and May 2025, a nearly $20 million lead over her closest competition.
People With Money’s factors
In compiling this yearly list, the magazine considers factors such as upfront pay, profit participation, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
The Australian model has an estimated net worth of $145 million. She owes her fortune to smart stock investments, substantial property holdings, lucrative endorsement deals with CoverGirl cosmetics. She also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Trunfio Burger” chain) in Canberra, a Football Team (the “Merredin Angels”), has launched her own brand of Vodka (Pure Wondertrunfio - Australia), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Nicole) and a fashion line called “Nicole Trunfio Seduction”.
The ranking is significant for many Nicole fans, who have been waiting for her triumphant return to the glory days for what seems like a lifetime.
